[@Thisfutureman]

RevZilla hey lemmy what oil color should you see to know that it needs to be changed ? Because i bought a 2013 iron 883 and the guy said he did a check up 2 months ago with a harley dealership !

[@justibpolk95]

I have a 2012 Nightster. Could you do a video on changing the oil drain tube. Would love to have some extra information on it

[@osmanali3941]

Hey Lemmy. Is Maxima pro plus 10w40 is suitable and perfect for Kawasaki Ninja 1000 ?

[@squattinskugly]

I like this guy because A: His name is Lemmy AKA his parents were clearly Motorhead fans, and B: He makes drinking beer a step in changing your oil. Well done sir.

[@corbenmatthews9890]

Haha the exact reasons I like him

[@liam7935]

why his name tag says liam

[@SixShooter14]

That was a major dozen steps when changing my rocker box gaskets....It takes a while for those lifters to bleed down.

[@sorrea2141]

Only step 2 though... makes this vid a 9.99/10. Sorry

[@NatiLite]

Hell to the yes on this comment ❤️

[@zantomun]

Lemmy could teach me how to put gas into my bike and I'd still be interested

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

Really...lol..haha. He has to be the beast...i mean best..instructor alive!! lol fuckin love him!!

[@fredman1085]

"Lemmy could teach me how to put gas into my bike and I'd still be interested" --- I already DO change my own oil but I wanted to watch more of Lemmy.

[@superbentendo790]

Great comment

[@badmeetsevilfan1]

No lie. Watching Lemmy gives me the confidence to work on my own bike!

[@TvMaNightmareHD]

As a guy who just bought his first motorcycle about a week ago, this is a very helpful video.

[@TvMaNightmareHD]

***** a jeep for the time being, I live up a gigantic gravel driveway that's in horrible condition with a steep incline. Most riders Can't even get a bike up it.

[@TvMaNightmareHD]

***** XD forgot i didnt put that in my post, its 2012 Fz6R

[@TvMaNightmareHD]

Well got some sad news, i sold that FZ6R months ago to a dealership, some kid a few cities south bought it and was hit by a drunk driver shortly after, killing him and totaling the motorcycle. Not something i wanted to hear happening on my first motorcycle.

[@carsonp.7009]

@@TvMaNightmareHD glad that wasnt you

[@mathewsenn]

as a guy who doesn't even own a bike, I simply found this insightful

[@pgoody]

Lemmy makes a great point at 14:20; Fingers first don't just go right in with your tool...

[@suhah1301]

🙄

[@azdaddy72]

Great video! Obvious cool points are: his name is Lemmy, beer is included in all maintenance, and jobs have a beard difficulty rating. All that aside, he has a knack for instruction. Lemmy doesn't over repeat, so people who are mostly familiar with the topic can stay tracking, and he doesn't rush through, so the novice can actually process and retain the information. No skipping steps and it's not boring, that is a feat most instructors do not master- Well done!

[@Ryan-ou3iu]

*new rider post* I feel like every time I get on my motorcycle from now on, I'm going to say "Thank you Lemmy, for your guidance and knowledge" as an ode to your detailed and concise videos.

[@terryc7654]

Lemmy, you an awesome teacher. I've picked up so much from this and the other winterizing tutorial. Let me buy you a round. CHEERS!

[@Shockyxo]

I don’t even own a motorcycle and I watched the whole video😂 but I will soon!!!

[@Jolly_Green23]

[@ringhunter1006]

Take the Motorcycle Safety Course!!!!!!!!!! and treat it as your 1st feather in your riding Experience It may/will save your life and remember Wear all of your safety gear all the time or at least till you have 20 to 30 thousand miles under your belt that way you can make a much better choice of To Wear or not To wear. :{D

[@gordontainsch2624]

Putting the old rag at the bottom of the collecting pan to keep splatter down is a great tip...thanks, man. Another well done instruction video I'd say.

[@Degen-Danny]

Man I really love your How to videos, you not only thoroughly explain how to do it, you managed to even add helpful tips to make it even better like preventing damage. Keep up the good work!

[@geraldburgos5934]

Very comfortable to listen to and watch, thank you, Lemmy!

[@aussiesakman]

Your are awesome Lemmy! A great instructor. I bought a brand new bike 2 years ago and have performed all of my own maintenance. I just discovered your tutorials and am confident that I have been doing things correctly and have also learnt a few tricks. Cheers! 🤘🤠🤘

[@etoxica]

This video was great; I just got my first bike yesterday and I'm a complete noob to all of this stuff.

[@_OscarIvan]

What bike u get

[@photon2724]

i watched the whole thing and don't even have a Learner license let alone a bike. Still enjoyed it.

[@hungryguy626]

This was uploaded the night I performed my first oil change some time ago. It was very helpful!

[@GrgTop]

I was looking for a good youtube channel on bike maintenance and came across your channel. Seems like there is no need for searching other channels. I appreciate the tips you provide in the videos. Big thanks from Nepal - A country with the highest peak in the World - Mt. Everest.

[@BustahNutt]

Nice. You guys should start doing more of these DIY videos.

[@logmegadeth72]

"I put plenty of carcinogens into myself, I don't need any extra help" lmao

[@TopperRico]

My local garage quoted £130, about $210, to change the oil! Nice guide I will give it a go in the near future.

[@90albert0]

I just discovered this channel and I love these videos. I don't even own a bike (yet)

[@TheTycarroll]

RevZilla you guys need to start doing a full maintenance series, chain/sprocket cleaning and replacement, Brakes, pads and disks. Everything, there is tons of maintenance that I would like to do on my own but as a new rider I just don't have the knowledge to do it yet.

[@RevZilla]

TheTycarroll That's really great feedback! We're extremely happy with how this video turned out. You should see more down the road. -Hi-Viz Brian

[@Rayugu]

Finally, a maintenance videos. Good job.

[@chrismole6871]

Thanks for all the tips and hack you shared with us over these years your a blessing to us motorcyclist and mechanics thanks Lenny!

[@jason_a7420]

I really like the way you explain everything! I just came from the chain clean/lube video, and your attitude and personality earned a subscription from me. Keep up the good quality! 👍👍

[@curtislund949]

Good job Lemmy! You have a gift of being a good teacher. You love motorcycles and it shows like diamonds in the sky. Keep it bro!

[@ivornotion6624]

Love the tip on pre-filling the new oil filter with oil. Whenever i start my bike after an oil change it makes me cringe when you hear the cams running without lube for the first few seconds, causing damage. Thanks Lemmie because I really never thought I would learn anything.

[@canadiangoof-ball7552]

My job is changing oil and working on stuff , still watched the video, and enjoyed it ! Because the more you know and all 😃Just got my first bike and looking forward to working on her 😊

[@Porsche996driver]

The Lemster - your best mechanic buddy. 🤙🏼💪🏼

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

Doing your oil change yourself won't only save you money but also time, once you've done it a few times it can be done in about 30 min.

[@Korsfestelse]

I won't be doing this to my VT750 until the summer comes around, but it's cool to see such a DIY approach. Now it's just a case of figuring out how to get underneath my bike without the lift...

[@daveburch235]

Much good information here. One point not mentioned is warming the motor before draining the oil. The manuals for my Honda Shadow and Yamaha Roadliner both recommend this. I understand that it helps a thorough drain by stirring the sludge at the bottom of the case back into the oil.

[@DadansterGfaqs]

Can't wait to see more of these kinds of videos! Lemmy was a perfect presenter

[@danielserra2116]

I love this guy. Speaks clearly.

[@chrisphilhower6029]

Hey Lemmy. Got a Crazy one for you. I have a 15 Street 750. And developed a N-Light problem. Took it to the HD dealer on Aug 20 17. The N Light was Flashing. 2 weeks later I get it back with a new N Switch. Got as far as the Delaware River, Lost the N light completely. Take it back to the dealer next day. Everything was fine until I got about halfway. Then lost the N Light again. Another week at the HD dealer in Langhorne. I get it back. They claim HD told them to change the Oil. Which I got charged almost $84 for. I have been using the Valvoline Syn 20/50 and K&N or Bosch oil filters since 500 miles. At 10k, Changed the Oil and Filter. The N Light problem started 400 miles later. The Dealer changed the oil, Not the filter with only roughly 500 miles on it. So far the N Light has been working.

[@jacksonmartin3395]

This guy has teached me more about life than school

[@maovalroc]

This video we pretty dope, entertaining, informative and well edited. As a new biker I enjoyed it :) Good job!

[@WelziFC7]

I am buying my first bike in a few weeks. I worked a bit on cars and it was always really fun to do my own and I'm honestly really excited to start working on bikes now

[@IanSebastienSweeney]

Thank Lemmy for the tips. I feel more confortable doing my first oil change, know more about my bike and save some money in the process.

[@IanSebastienSweeney]

***** I looked into my manual and they say I need a specific tool to get the filter out. I own a Triumph Speed Triple 2011. I didn't had a chance to have a good look into this, but do you think it is necessary?

[@shawnsmith1865]

Another excellent reference video for my library. Thanks RevZilla

[@x-man5056]

Excellent presentation. So glad you didn't tell people to change their oil with engine warm.

[@zaar1915]

this is my #1 go to videos thanks Revzilla!

[@ronhall4092]

Dude I loved it, I'm never change my own oil always took it to the dealership,so I said hey what do I have to lose and I started watching videos,I swear there's some dumb ass people out there because they're starting to talk to me about exhaust pipes paint jobs everything else extent of what I wanted to know which was how to change the oil,you cut to the chase took me step-by-step show me exactly what I wanted to see without the b******* and I even had a beer with you,love your video man keep doing what you're doing and anytime I have something I need to do you're going to be my go-to thanks for everything

[@alleymiranda7847]

Very informative, a good pace & length of time to cover a good range of key points for a maintenance novice like me. Nice work guys. Look forward to watching more.

[@philberttron]

this guide was so well made. can't wait to change my own for the first time now.

[@skyking228]

Some of the dirtiest oil I've ever seen... I drain oil when it's still warm to hot. I also put a block of wood under a tire if it will help drain a little more oil out of the case. I also wait until all the oil is drained out. The last ounce or so can be pretty gritty. Excellent video btw.

[@God_is_Justice]

not a rookie but I definitely benefited from the 3/4 turn after the filter snugs to the engine tip, woohoo, learning something new every day of life.

[@MitchelDZ]

Loved this, loved the presentator. Keep the video's coming Lemmy!

[@MitchelDZ]

***** Haha, that's the great thing about not doing it live ;) But seriously though. I'm a novice motorcyclist and really keen on learning stuff that I can do by myself. These video's are greatly appreciated. Love from the Netherlands!

I see that Anthony taught you to wave your hands and arms around a lot. :p

Hoping for a top end rebuild video next!

[@erykross]

Thanks Lemmy! There was so much great detail in this video. I'll be using this as my guide when I change my oil today. Well done!

[@andrelombard9373]

The final thatch was came from a prou thanks it was indeed very helpful

[@aytes44]

One trick I learned from an old timer years ago is when you are installing a screw, start by going backwards and you will feel it click and square up to make sure your screw is facing the right direction.

[@skidz8426]

a tip I was told when tightening something use a pushing motion horizontally, not vertical and don't pull. the farther away something is the harder it is to move so when you pull you're bringing the ratchet or wrench closer to you. when your pushing it's getting farther away less likely to over tighten it. and if you push vertically either up of down you're much more likely to use your body weight making it easy to over tighten.

[@McCarlSpeed]

This is an absolutely fantastic video with a great character. Well done.

[@vmkononenko]

Just finished my first oil change following you tutorial. As always fantastic video! Super clear explanation with all the nuances. Kudos to Revzilla and Lemmy in particular :) Lemmy, what about safety wiring? You do not mention it, though the K&N filter you installed even has predrilled holes for it.

[@Ritalie]

1.) Don't over tighten the oil plug. For reasons that aren't clear, the factory uses soft cast aluminum threads and no helicoil from the factory. Your oil plug won't fall out or rattle loose, just gently snug it down with the smallest wrench you have. 2.) Use teflon tape around the washer on the drain plug bolt, to create a 100% seal, on old drain bolts with an old washer. Do not apply teflon tape at the end of the bolt, only near the flange. 3.) They make a flexible oil drain sheet funnel, which is a sheet of soft metal that is rubber coated, and it bends into unusual shapes, to protect your fairing or exhaust from oil. Or you can use plastic bags or tinfoil to divert oil drip. 4.) Make sure you remove the old oil filter gasket. My friend accidentally left the old o-ring on the engine on his new bike, and had oil shoot out when driving, right on the back tire. 5.) Fill your new oil filter with oil and let it sit for 5 minutes, to soak up all the oil. Make sure it's completely full of oil, before installing. Installing a dry oil filter will have difficulty priming the oil pump, and can cause engine damage. 6.) Don't over tighten the new oil filter. Don't use a tool to tighten the oil filter, because it will get tighter over time, and will be incredibly difficult to remove. Oil filters do not rattle loose. 7.) Don't overfill the oil. Overfilling the oil can cause the oil to hit the crankshaft, and it will foam the oil, and it can destroy the engine. A slightly lower oil level can be safer than a way too high of oil level. 8.) Use carb cleaner and a rag to remove oil from the sidewalk. 9.) Use carb cleaner to clean the oil drain plug and oil pan, and oil residue on exhaust, before running the engine. Clean oil residue off of new filter. 10.) Inspect for spilled oil on the back tire or on the ground.

[@TheFLViking]

I've done more than my fair share of oil changes, but that's the first time I've seen the bag over the filter trick... I'll have to give that a shot next time.... I'm tired of dumping oil all over my exhaust when I pull the filter. Cheers

[@derrickfelix503]

Might be old hat but warming the engine oil prier to chance was a practice I was brought up on. Cheers

[@werewolfofzion1]

hey lemmy im a long time revzilla fan.some how missed these vidz but there exellent im on my fourth bike and looking forward to the fifth :) like to get my hands dirty but like the having things broken down and explained:) great job!

[@werewolfofzion1]

Looking forward to it! If you could keep them general and not bike specific I'd like that :)

[@danielnillo]

Awesome guys, thank you very much for this! Walked me right through my very first oil change, Stoked!

[@Siper2]

BSD is the best scale ever. I love this dude; cool video!

[@Siper2]

***** That he does! A friend if mine (we are Subaru fanatics) runs a maintenance how-to site at northursalia.com. He uses a scale too....how many pints of blood you'll lose. :-D

[@kurtsteiner8384]

Yes interesting these things Lemmy. I don't know much about Harley, being in the UK. I have alway s warmed up engine oil before changing oil and filter it runs out better. And never over tighten a filter canister like main agent did on my car. I tried all sort or wrenched from strap wrench to banging a screwdriver through the filter. The wrenches just spun and did nothing. Plastic bag is good idea. So is putting oil in filter body before assembly. Make sure you don't get crud on threads of new filter and drain plugs. Kind regards Kind regards

[@Streamlines]

Warming up the motorcycle before draining the oil makes the oil flow better too. Though then you're working on a hot motor.

[@adobothrottle6858]

Great video, very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you for this video 👍🏽

[@harrisonjacobsen173]

Beers and bike maintenance. Best. Experience. Ever.

[@Boodieman72]

The difficulty depends on if you have to remove fairing and such to get at parts.

[@Boodieman72]

My Honda NC700X DCT requires you take off the lower fairing to get access.

[@sebbykaiser6466]

I'm not sure why im watching this. I know how to do an oil change and I don't own or work on bikes. But I'm glad I did.

[@proj3ctwar]

Such a fantastic teacher.

[@greggdale8102]

I love how his shirt goes from clean to super dirty by the end of the video

[@kraven4444]

DON'T FORGET ( like I just did today ) Some bikes also have an Oil Screen that also needs to be inspected/cleaned/changed if necessary. This should be done after the Oil has drained out, before you fill it up again.

[@haryudha1993]

Thank you for the instruction, RevZilla! Some people said that we need to warm up the bike first, to help oil easily to go down. Is it true?

[@RevZilla]

+Haryudha Trengginas Yes, this can help. Your owner's manual usually specifies whether you should warm the bike first. -DrewZilla

[@RoadTrooper]

Well I've done plenty of oil changes over the years but the plastic bag over the filter was new one so I guess you can teach and old dog a new trick.. Good one..

[@RoadTrooper]

***** Ohh, I suspect you're not just a pretty face Lenny me ol' flower, and I'm sure I'd really enjoy meeting Mrs Lemmy :) I'm also flattered you know of Yates, I was born only a 10 minute walk for his grandmothers house. Strangely enough she was a complete pain in the arse, hated kids and hated motorcycles as did W.B. - he had a thing about old Ford cars. Anyway - Long story short for anyone reading this, you can NEVER-EVER know everything, there is NEVER a stupid question - ONLY a stupid answer! This is why I'll watch channels like RevZilla - May The Force be with You. I like the direction your going with this simple - but easily do-able and easily, eh - f&%$able stuff. An oil change should be, and is simple, but - without the basics it can too easily get messed up if ye forget - for example the washer as I did on an 'ol 1992 Kawasaki VN800A one time which led to a knackered engine :( Doh!!!! You do not need to be a mechanic to do an oil change, but it's fantastic to get advice from an experienced mechanic on how to do it. More to the point it's seriously cool to see you're doing a public/biker service and not just selling stuff. Lenny, you're the man, you're not a condescending-know-it-all twat like myself, you're the fun teacher i wish I had in school - so teach us more:) Before anyone thinks it, no, I got nothing to do with Revzilla, my business is on the other side of the Atlantic... Every Biker should know the basics and this tutorial is light, friendly. fun and shows there is no mystery to it, but like you showed to an 'ol dog, there are a few tricks still to be learned - as I am sure I could show you how we do it in Ireland - For example we use distilled potato juice instead of oil, it saves on taxes and it makes a Friday night very special as ye can drink it too ;) It's the beauty of the internet - or even better, simply personally connect with your mechanic - simply talking to people instead of treating them like servants and paying them to do sh*it you can easily do your're self is so much more rewarding, all 'ye got to do is pull your ass away from the TV. Anyway, good on ye for a top class tutorial. For me there are a few GOLDEN RULES - Never - EVER save money on tires, brake pads/fluid or oil. If you look after your bike the only thing that sees you in the dirt is stupidity, be it your's or sombody else. You got the engine oil deal done, and Lenny ye did it very well, my kids responded to you better then they do to me. So sit up and pay attention Lenny, people are watching!!!!! I got a bike maintenance/safety/touring thing going on for a multilingual/cultural group in Spain and in Ireland as well as a bike touring thing here in Europe and an online Mag being read in 52 contries. I challenge you to continue to do more tutorials on JUST the basics - tires, brake fluid levels, how to check the pads, I think it would be good for the community in general. I challenge you to make a tutorial on how to make sure a motorcycle is ready for a long distance tour - assuming it's already had an annual or a 10,000km /6000 mile service. No rocket science - just the basics every biker should know, age and experience is irrelevant. I've got 24 years riding bikes. from choppers to BMW GS's, from Norway to Gibraltar, from Galway to Kiev, and the only thing I have learned for sure is that I have more to learn. And every timeI do a motorcycle advanced training course I realise I have somehow forgotten some of the basic sh&t. All bikes are the same on this brother, lets not assume the bike is ready to ride! How should I check the bike is good to go - be it a ride to work, a ride into the mountains, or a full blown ride into bandit country... ?????? Will you and ReviZilla pick up this challenge??? ;) It does not matter what the bike is, Harley, VStrom, R1000R, the basics are still the basics.... From a business point of view, even if you think a tutorial on how to check a set brake pads might be a waste of time the fact is you got a popular channel, and if you only get through to 1 guy you might save a life and gain a customer... :) Just saying ... Your serve Lenny lol - bet ye wished you stayed in bed instead of pissing around with an oil filter on YT lol... [e-mail]

[@RoadTrooper]

***** Apologies, Lemmy it is, doh!, My eyesight is not what it used to be, especially after a few cold ones and I'm working off a tiny mini laptop right now as I'm on the road in southern Spain.. ;) I run a non-profit online mag dedicated to convincing riders to do more touring and get more from their bikes - www.RoadTrooper.com For the last few years we've been videoing, writing about all the best roads in Europe, Alps, Pyrenees etc and advising other rider on how to get plan a successful tour. From next year we'll "hopefully - visas pending" be doing Russia's Road of Bones then Iceland before endeavoring to find, write about and video the best roads in Canada and the US. Just use my YT ID to see our YT Channel and check out some amazing roads.. We've just completed a 10,000+km trip along the West Coast of Europe from the North of Ireland to Northern Portugal which will be up on the site over the winter. SatNav and Google Maps are available from the download page for those who want to ride our routes, and it's all free of charge 'cos that's the way we roll ;) Anyway, if you upload anymore tutorials, especially along the lines of preparing a bike for a trip, safety checks etc I'll be happy to post it on our site. Safe riding Lemmy..

[@ralphaelconfer9719]

Why does Harley Davidson motrorcycle's seem to set the stage for most of the bikes you reference. I enjoy your commentary but, HD seems to get a lot of your attention. I ride a Kawasaki Mean Streak and would love to see DIY videos and etc...

[@DefectiveDetective420]

Good thing I went to work on cars first, because now this video feels simpler than I originally though lol

[@y2ktube]

Nobody seems to cover the issue of how to check the oil LEVEL with a threaded 'dipstick'. - Some of the manufacturer's ask that after you wipe off the OLD oil level, you thread it back in all the way (not common) then check level. Most common is to simply allow the dipstick to sit on the 1st thread (no turning/threading) then check level.

[@ChaosBW]

I already know how and I've already done it several times. Why am I watching this?

[@guy-uo8nv]

One thing you should do is put some oil in the filter then put it on. by doing so it puts less stress on your barings and parts

[@dansneyd4646]

I don't think lem said if the oil is warm it will drain a lot easier from the bike, and leave less old oil residue inside. otherwise, another great vid as always!

[@MissMeina]

HD is nice but I can never find anything on the classics 85 shadow!

[@roygriegojr9861]

Great video I just bought my first Harley 2014 Dyna fat Bob Sand Camp is the color Beautiful Beast. So I've seen lots of oil change videos and almost always they change the primary oil and the transmission oil just wondered why you didn't do that and how important is it to do or not important to change the primary and transmission and if need to be changed how often Thanks love the videos very helpful.

[@RevZilla]

If you want to work on your own bike, then sure, it would be useful to gain some mechanical knowledge. -DrewZilla

[@wolflike24124]

does revzilla offer courses on motorcycle mechanics?? especially being taught by this guy?? it would be So helpful and easier if there was one or an online course. I would def sign up for it if you Guys considered!

[@TopMag]

Hey Lemmy, what university do I need to attend in order to become a mechanic like you? Thanks!

[@skippygirl959]

Tools and passion will teach you more than books or classes ever will.

[@LaurentSparksMusic]

Vic if you really want to be a motorcycle mechanic study mechanical enginering or automotive enginering or just mechanics, theres no real school for motorcycles, you either need a mentor or plenty of patience. but a firm understanding of mechanical engineering goes a long way. common sense and knowing how to use tools goes longer

[@TrailRider1200]

UTI has a motorcycle program I do believe

[@battlebornhd3030]

No motorcycle school? Look at MMI. That’s where almost all Harley techs go to school.

[@irachoi8944]

For some reason the screw under my bikes oil thing was supposed to be turned to the left to loosen instead of to the right :) took me way too long to figure out and messed up the gasket ring thingy which now i have to wait for a new one to be delivered so i can put new oil in😫

[@CoolGuy60314]

I just liked the video because of the beer reference

[@MrArchizzle]

Keep up the videos! Great Job!

[@jdozajr6396]

Great instructional video.

[@orochifire]

You said you were going to talk about disposing of used oil, too, but that never came back up.

[@3percentmick705]

So what about getting the bike up to operating temps before pulling the drain plug?
